Clearly, this wasn't the first time Officer Morofushi had experienced being called by the wrong name.
Because he calmly shook hands with Yoruichi Toyama, and humbly said, "I dare not accept such praise. I am Morofushi Takamine, not Zhuge Kongming."
"How can the light of a firefly compare to the brilliance of the moon!"
As a Chinese person familiar with the Three Kingdoms period, Yoruichi Toyama immediately recognized the allusion he was using.
Then he laughed and said, "That's what Xu Yuanzhi said. We ordinary people wouldn't even dare to compare ourselves to him."
This immediately made Morofushi Takamichi, who loved using classical allusions, a kindred spirit.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yoruichi Toyama asked Morofushi Takaaki why he had come to the Metropolitan Police Department.
I remember he never appeared in this case from beginning to end?
Could it be that they've come to celebrate the success of their childhood friend, Dahe?
Zhu Fu Gaoming's expression remained amiable, only his voice lowered slightly.
"I heard someone sent me a package, which is being kept here at the Metropolitan Police Department, so I've come to pick it up."
He pointed to a brown paper envelope tucked under his arm and said.
The envelope was about A4 size, but it looked flat and I didn't know what was inside.
With a thought in mind, Yuanshan Yeyi stopped asking and walked out the door side by side with him.
Finally, he said, "Officer Morofushi, come chat with us at our coffee shop sometime."
Taking it as just a polite remark, Morofushi Takamatsu thanked him politely and turned to leave.
Mingmei watched his retreating figure and suddenly sighed.
"For some reason, Officer Morofushi looks somewhat sad..."
He's actually doing alright, considering he just learned he lost his only family member.
Yoruichi Toyama thought silently.
Then he relaxed his tone.
"Then can you guess why he would do that?"
"How do we guess?" Mingmei blinked, realizing that this was a reasoning puzzle someone had set for her.
But there are too few clues.
"The hint is..." Yoruichi Toyama had just started to speak when Akemi interrupted her.
"Was that the envelope that Inspector Morofushi was holding? He became downcast after mentioning that."
"The words on the envelope... seem to have been soaked in water and become very blurry, but you can still make out that there is only the recipient's name and no sender's signature."
That's why I say, when you encounter top students like us, even spoilers don't have much of an advantage!
Yoruichi Toyama nodded inwardly, sighing to herself.
"However, there was a mark on the back of the envelope..."
“Right, it’s a circle!” Akemi blurted out, but then immediately contradicted herself, “To be precise, it’s a handwritten '0', isn’t it?”
"'zero'?"
She clearly made a connection to something; her eyes widened and her voice lowered.
“Another piece of information is,” Yoruichi Toyama continued, “that Amuro… well, that guy, he mentioned several of his classmates from the police academy.”
"One of them is Inspector Morofushi Takaaki's younger brother."
As Akemi connected the clues, she gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.
"So, Inspector Morofushi's brother is now..."
“I don’t know,” Yoruichi Toyama shook her head. “However, according to official information, Inspector Morofushi’s younger brother resigned from the police force a few years ago and no longer works as a police officer. Nobody knows where he went.”
A contemporary of a police officer.
His whereabouts remain a mystery.
Years later, his brother received a package addressed to the Metropolitan Police Department, signed "0".
"So, he lost something important too," Akemi said, watching Morabu Takaaki's almost invisible figure disappear from sight.
If the distillery continues to act with impunity, who knows how many more people will be sacrificed in unseen places.
Yoruichi Toyama heard what she hadn't said.
That's exactly what he was thinking.
Hopefully, the police officer has already made a decision.
...
The next day, Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi went to the residence of Manager Matsumoto.
Subaru Okiya knew where they were going.
But that's all.
Because he only overheard this one message, Yoruichi Toyama then came to knock on his door and invited him to her home for dinner.
After some internal struggle between the comforting, home-cooked meal and the possibility of overhearing information from the Metropolitan Police Department, Subaru Okiya finally gave in.
I already knew that Yoruichi Toyama was closely involved with the Metropolitan Police Department, so it wasn't surprising that she, as an advisor, helped them solve a case.
There may not be any important intelligence.
The ace agent, who had been a lone wolf in the wilderness for years, finally gave in to his stomach and cast the decisive vote.
However, it cannot be said that there were no gains at all.
After enjoying a simple and cozy dinner, accompanied by black tea brewed by his ex-girlfriend, Subaru Okiya heard the name "Inspector Morofushi".
This was a surname that left a deep impression on him.
For Yoruichi and the others, they were just people they met by chance.
Subaru Okiya had no aversion to the fact that they were going down different paths.
He was secretly planning to investigate the police officer at the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters.
Meanwhile, Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi also encountered an unexpected person outside the apartment where Manager Matsumoto lived.
"What are you doing here?" Yoruichi Toyama looked at the smart man in his suit, who was as shiny as a newly minted silver coin, and realized something as soon as she spoke.
"Did Manager Matsumoto send you?" He quickly corrected his question.
But Akechi had an annoyingly inscrutable look on his face, and only nodded politely when he saw Akemi.
"Let Manager Matsumoto reveal the answer to this question for you."
Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but snort.
"With that attitude... you're bound to get beaten up sooner or later!"
